It’s summertime and that means all the grill outs possible in my world! Summer is a time to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends and you know you are going to get fed if I’m around. It’s how I show you that I love you. It’s kind of my love language! I can’t believe the Fourth of July is right around the corner you guys! This always means a big party for us and I love every moment of it.

When I was growing up we always gathered at my Grandma’s house for the Fourth of July holiday. She lived in a small town and they had the biggest celebration around. They still do for that fact! I remember starting the day off with the pancake feed, heading to the parade, having a picnic after the parade and then going to the fireworks!

The fireworks were always my favorite part of the day. We’d all grab our blankets and then head down to the ball fields. They’d open the concession stands and serve popcorn out of them so you could enjoy some snacks while you watched the fireworks. My Dad always made sure we had popcorn, which was a highlight. Memories you guys, memories!

Insert grown up Julie into the equation now and my favorite part is the food of course! Well, the fireworks still come a close second. Especially when the girls get so excited about watching them! Everything is better through a child’s eye isn’t it?

Back to that food. Obviously, I’m going to put a spread on for you if you are at my back yard party this summer. I have a lot to live up to with this blog and all. People have expectations when I come around! You’ll for sure get some delicious Potato Salad served up with Baked Beans.

A new favorite are these Instant Pot Brisket Sliders with Caramelized Onions! I adore using the Instant Pot for these delicious little sliders. The brisket is first seasoned with Stubb’s Beef Spice Rub. After a good layer of rub I browned it in the Instant Pot and then cooked it on manual for 50 minutes.

You guys. Amazing! It was so tender and that rub on the brisket. Perfection! I could have just sat down and ate it like that, but I had guests to feed!

So I layered it on slider buns and topped with caramelized onions, cheese and Stubb’s Sticky Sweet Bar-B- Q Sauce! That Bar-B-Q Sauce was delicious. Stubb’s sweetest sauce, is a thick, rich sauce with brown sugar and molasses for an authentic Southern flavor perfect for dipping, infusing and of course, slathering on brisket. Plus, all Stubb’s products are free of high fructose corn syrup (the first or second ingredient in most barbecue sauces) and contain no artificial flavors or colors from artificial sources. I’m kind of a barbecue sauce junkie and this was awesome.

Don’t forget the butter on top of those buns! Then I baked them so the cheese was melted and buns a bit crispy. I’m literally ready to run to the kitchen and make them again!

These are perfect for serving at your backyard parties this summer! They are the perfect size for finger foods and the kids love that they are their size too!

Elaine, an Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker. But it also slow cooks, cooks rice, and several other functions. Check it out on Amazon. I love mine. One of the best things I make in mine is cheesecake!

Would you please tell me the difference between a INSTANT POT & a CROCK POT. I already have a great crock pot, why should I buy another Instant Pot when I really don’t have room for one? Could I use crockpot instead in Instant Pot? Thanks for your time & information! God Bless!

This looks A-M-A-Z I-N-G! Having a get together with my in-laws for Christmas Eve and thought I would fix this. Although I love my IP, still intimidated and learning. Will give me another new recipe and a little more confidence in using it (hopefully). The ribs turned out wonderful… hopefully this brisket will too!

I had the same issue as Judy. This brisket was tough, dry, and no flavor. Unsalvageable. I am from Texas and we cook a lot of briskets. This recipe does not work. Thankfully I cooked this early in the afternoon so I could go to the store and get burgers so my Super Bowl party wasn’t ruined. $15 of meat in the trash.

I want to make this recipe tomorrow but I need to do a 2 or 2.5 pound brisket and I don’t know how I need to convert the recipe to account for this! Do I need extra cooking time in the IP? Help please!!!! TYIA!!!

I wish I would have scrolled down to read the recipe comments before attempting it! My meat also cane out so tough and dry. I tried adding juices back at the end, but it’s still not great. This is not how brisket should be! Such a great idea, but I think the cooking time is off. If I make this again, I’ll cook it maybe 25 minutes with the natural release.
